Vilified Activision CEO Bobby Kotick took the stand at this year’s D.I.C.E. (Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain) Summit, an annual gathering of videogame executives, where they (I assume) talk about their yachts in the Bahamas.

Harmonix, developers of Rock Band have dated and priced their Beatles-themed iteration. The game is set to release exactly ten years after Sega’s beloved Dreamcast – 09/09/09.
